Learn, Grow, and Compete on Protec Ice!

At Protec Ponds, we offer a wide range of ways to enjoy your time on the ice. Public Skates, Stick Times, Open Hockeys, and more. And if you’re looking to start or continue your journey in ice sports, we have the programs to get you there. Whether you’re looking to learn to play hockey, or learn to figure skate, it all starts in our Learn To Skate program. Our certified and professional instructors keep learning fun as your skating skills continue to grow. Once you’ve learned all the skating skills you’ll need to know prior to joining our hockey or figure skating programs, the next steps are as follows. For hockey players, you’ll then want to register for our Hockey Academy. For ages 4-13, the Hockey Academy is a full equipment program that offers clinics and scrimmages so young players can learn and have fun while being instructed on the basics of hockey. After passing through the Hockey Academy, your hockey adventure continues with the Protec Ducks travel hockey organization! Go Ducks!! For Figure Skaters, after passing our Learn To Skate Intro to Figure Skating classes, you’ll want to look at our Bridge program: a figure skating training program for beginners! Then you’ll want to match up with one of our top tier figure skating coaches and take lessons during our Freestyle sessions.
